Hi,

I've problems with my 3ware controller. Havingg heavy I/O load (e.g.
running 40 port builds the day over with tinderbox which involves
un-taring a whole FreeBSD tree 40 times), my system hangs with the well
known

swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 2, size: 4096
swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 2, size: 4096

I used to get this (FreeBSD 6.1 days) all the time, the controller would just lock up almost on a daily basis (and have to wait for the fsck 4 out of 24 hours in the day).

Anyway, I stopped running 3dmd (or 3dm2 I think it's called now) to monitor it, and the crashes went away. It's had hundreds of days uptime since.

I've never been game enough to try newer versions of 3dm, but a cronjob of tw_cli allows me to monitor it now without the lockups.

Might not be your problem, but it's worth a shot if all else fails.
